This isn't a direct answer to your question, but maybe you'll find it
useful anyways.

One option would be to set the subscriber(s) at the site to SHORTHDR,
which I believe was introduced to combat this problem.  Note that a
user cannot be set to SHORTHDR and SUBJECTHDR at the same time and
that SHORTHDR may remove some things from the headers, which may (for
instance) prevent the user's email client from properly recognizing
attachments in mailing list messages.

Good luck,
